PRDP mints 129.77 cr in opening weekend

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's family drama film ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ (PRDP) had a bumper opening weekend. The Hindi version of the Sooraj Barjatya directorial has minted almost Rs 130 crore in the first four days. According to a statement, the Hindi version of the film, which minted Rs 101.47 crore within three days of its release, collected Rs 28.30 crore on Sunday.

Also starring Sonam Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Swara Bhaskar, Armaan Kohli and Neil Nitin Mukesh, ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ narrates the story of a royal family and how an outsider, Prem, played by Salman, tries to mend the broken bridges of the family. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film has got a “solid” start but its upcoming collections will determine where the film is heading.

“#PremRatanDhanPayo packed a solid (four-day) weekend, maintaining consistent biz from Friday-Sunday. Monday onwards is crucial for the film. Weekdays will determine where #PremRatanDhanPayo is heading. With no major Hindi film releasing next Friday, should enjoy another good week,” Adarsh tweeted on Monday. Made on a budget of Rs 60 crore, the film also released in Tamil and Telugu.
